Love our tri-loc, we often register 6-7 color jobs as fast as you can walk around the press and often need no micro or maybe 1 head a touch. I find that priceless.
whitewater:
is the triloc only with the m&r?
will it work on other presses?
alan802:
The tri-loc will work with just about every auto press out there I think except for the mhm. I know it will work on ours, it should work on the anatols, at least I would think they would have made their presses to accept that tool, works on the Printex. So the one's I'm not sure about would be the Brown and Lawson and Anatol. I'm sure Paul will let us know if their presses will accept the tri-loc regi pallet.

MHM will not take the trilock, but it has it's own system that is arguably the best one out there. It is much easier to use than the others and it does not slow you down at all.
Few weeks ago, when in a hurry, we tore down a 7 color job, cleaned the squeegees and floodbars, popped in the new screens, loaded the ink and registered the next 7 color job in about 8 min. Three ppl in a hurry to go home on a friday, no better motivation. Registration was within 10 thousands of an inch!
There is a little bit extra you have to spend on the bushings for the screens (abou $8 per frame) and about 2-3 min to install them. After that there are no traditional clamps to hold the screens, they are held in place by the pins and you can take the frames out and put them in without loosing the registration. Additional benefit of the system is that you can adjust the micros on the fly (very production friendly, linear adjustments just twist to move. Nothing to unlock or release, just turn the knob.).
After using the frames with the pins, I would not go any other way. If MHM went out of business, I would buy a used press with bushing system before buying anything else. It is hard to believe until you actually spend some time with it . . .
